The Gardening Club of Santa Clarita allows passionate gardeners and new gardeners to meet up and talk knowledge and advice to other passionate gardeners and new gardeners alike. Since its start, the meetup has been in casual format where speakers can discuss, collaborate and exchange knowledge about all things gardening.

In 2009, the Gardening Club of Santa Clarita was created by two avid gardeners, Diane Benjamin and Kathy Phillips. They created the Gardening Club of Santa Clarita so that passionate gardeners of all ages and experience levels can learn, connect, and share knowledge about gardening with each other. Since then, the Gardening Club has been involved in many gardening events around the Santa Clarita Valley.

No longer a quaint hobby for those with a tiny windowsill as their only green space, hydroponics has grown into a multi-million-dollar business, being pushed by rapid technology changes in nutrient reproduction, lighting and easy-to-install grow systems. America’s Best Hydroponics & Garden Center in Palmdale leads our area in both grower supplies and education.

Europe actually leads the United States in hydroponics, although the North American market is expected to be the fastest growing marketplace by 2020, according to RnR Research. Europe, like Japan, has a higher density of people per mile than the United States on average, so circumstances have dictated that they jump on the hydroponics market earlier, with hydroponics providing higher yields compared to traditional agriculture, the lack of farm-friendly land and unfavorable climatic conditions for agriculture in many areas.

At Tower Gardening By Juice Plus, their vision is clear, “Thanks to Tower Garden, growing healthy, fresh produce at home has never been easier or more sustainable.” It took technology, vision and passion, as well as more than 5 years, to fully develop Tower Garden.

When Juice Plus+ learned about Tower Garden, they had the foresight to jump on the opportunity Tim Blank, founder, had created. In 2011, Juice Plus purchased the rights to produce and distribute Tower Gardens for home use from Tim Blank and his company.

Healthy and Fresh Food

The joint team has created a perfect way to further promote healthy nutrition for you and your family. Their dream is that someday everybody on the planet will have access to healthy food in their own home and local community. With clarity like this, it is no surprise they are getting extensive attention from the media.

These include: ABC news, CBS Chicago, and USA today. Not only are they widely recognized as being a professional business helpful to the environment, they are one of the healthiest ways to garden and eat.

Anyone who travels frequently understand the pain of finding fresh healthy food in the airports, it’s near impossible! From packaged, airtight sandwiches, to greasy McDonalds, the options are slim. Tower Gardening and Juice Plus empathizes with this problem, which is why they have come up with their own solution.

They are now used at Urban Garden at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago, allowing four airport restaurants to serve food grown only a few feet away. New York City chef John Mooney also uses Tower Gardens to go from rooftop to tabletop at Bell, Book and Candle, the United States’ first restaurant to grow its own food on the rooftop.

Grow your Urban Garden

And no longer will space be of concern! Tower Gardening by Juice Plus recommend vertical gardening, a trend picking up in popularity nationwide, as people do more gardening on their balconies and rooftops.

Tower Gardening and Juice Plus customers are encouraged to comment about their experience on the company’s webpage. Leslie Padgett from Waynesboro, Georgia states, “With the Tower Garden, it is even simpler to grow your own fruits and vegetables. You don’t have to deal with tilling the soil, hoeing and pulling weeds, soil borne diseases and worrying about whether you water enough or too much.”

Another man named Vic Ranoa, from Temecula, California says, “The tower garden can set up on a roof top or a patio, indoor or outdoor. This tower garden is a no brainer. It takes less than an hour to setup. You can plant that day from scratch or replant seedlings. can irrigate by using the same nutrient water source, on a timer, and not even be there. Well folks, for the first time I am enjoying talking to my plants.”

Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard on Sunday stood by her decision to meet with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in 2017, saying that American leaders must meet with foreign leaders "if we are serious about the pursuit of peace and securing our country."
